Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge candy really is toxic

An Indiana company that recently recalled some of its Toxic Waste brand candy have discovered more lead in the product. As a result, Circle City Marketing and Distributing, doing business as Candy Dynamics, is now recalling all of its Toxic Waste brand sour candies labelled as Nuclear Sludge, and discontinuing the sale of the products in the United States. The candy is imported from Pakistan.



In a news release the company said further testing indicates that some of its smaller sized products also contain elevated levels of lead (0.101 to .311 parts per million; the US regulated tolerance level is 0.1 ppm). Ingesting lead can cause health problems, particularly for infants, small children, and pregnant women. The company says it has now taken all of its candy labelled as "Nuclear Sludge" off the market.

The company said no other "Toxic Waste®" brand product, besides those labelled "Nuclear Sludge®" is affected by this recall. The recalled Nuclear Sludge candy was distributed nationwide in retail stores and via mail order. The product was also distributed in Canada and in limited quantities in Guatemala, Ireland, Jordan, Korea, Mexico and El Salvador.
